China Urges Halt to Military Actions Amid U.S.-Iran Tensions

On March 23, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian held a regular press conference. According to Jin10, a reporter inquired about U.S. President Donald Trump's ultimatum to Iran on March 21, demanding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours or facing the risk of energy infrastructure destruction. Lin Jian commented that if the conflict continues to escalate, the entire region could become uncontrollable. China strongly urges the involved parties to cease military actions immediately and prevent the continuation of a war that should never have started.
